Signal Synthesis

Using weighting factors for odd and even harmonics, one can synthesize the expected waveform from a plucked string.  This sample exhibits the time-domain characteristics for the fundamental through the fifth harmonic, with weights of: 1x, 0.3x, -0.8x, 0.1x. and 0.5x:

The resulting frequency-domain plot looks like this:

So relax, you don't have to rip out those pick-ups after all! 

Coming soon: I'll be posting the spreadsheet, so you can juggle the values yourself and see the result.
